1. convert your [censored] hands it takes like two seconds and makes it much easier for everyone.

2. Post interesting hands i.e. Playing HU floating the turn with 9 high no draw to set up a river bluff= sexy. Losing a 60/40= who [censored] cares.

3. Posting about variance is fine on a few conditions1. It includes stats/graphs over a meaningful sample not ZOMG I run bad.2. If it's a small sample but it's ridiculous run it's acceptable3. If your name is Indiana you may not post about variance, bad beats or being fabulously wealthy

But can we please get all the mundane beats that all of has have had of times out of the thread nobody [censored] cares. To paraphrase, stop being whiney little biatches.

Best part of the stop n go portion of the "book"."Stop-and-gos are rare, and when they do arise, win very small amounts of equity because most of the time the result is identical to moving in preflop. The amount of discussion this play has generated online is way out of proportion to its value. If you are not already an advanced player, forget about stop-and-gos and concentrate on developing flawless basic skills. Once you have mastered the basics, it makes sense to add at least the risk-free stop-and-gos (such as the 22 example in the paragraph above) to your repertoire."

When you are old you can sneak into movies with impunity. My wife and I did tonight and we were busted. When the 17-20 yo asked if we had tickets for that movie I just said "no, we just wanted to see a bit of it." She wasn't up for kicking us out and just said OK.

Sippin I was happy to see that your Stars avatar is a picture of Roger Bart, the actor who played Snoopy in the Broadway revival of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" and won a Tony for it. He also starred in Desperate Housewives and is the angry guy in the American Gangster trailer who yells that no way could a black guy have done more than the mafia has done.

Kudos.

WHAT!!!

fk,. not even close. i wanted to change it but couldnt think of anything really good. except for maybe this:

"It made him a tacky geek/ with a [censored]' bloated belly and scabby cheeks/ you look like a decomposing body on the Iraqi streets/ after a tank parade and an Apache sweep/ you need stem cell treatment, [censored] acne cream... "

Unluckiest poker thing about suzzer: played over my head about 30 times, lost horribly 25 of them, broke even the other 5. Just saw a bunch of $225s with no one on them, been running good, said what the heck. Didn't make it past level 5 in my first 9 out of 12. Bubbled in the $315 after several shorties survived dominated hands on their allins. Fun.

Apparently, I've been playing underage on their site for over two years and they are waiting 4 days before my 18th B-day to let me know. BTW, I never recieved the above email, and I'm obviously WAAAY over 18 already.

So, I repeat: "WTF?"

YOU CHEATER!!!!!!!!!!! lol, they better get it fixed like...NOW. wtf is that [censored]. Do they need you to fax them a copy of your DL or something?

I rarely play more than 100 sngos a month, so I think I may try to jack up the volume a bit in December. I've said that a million times before but hopefully I can actually make it happen.

I think I may have a problem though. Could 100/200 losses just be variance? It's over 257 tournaments, mostly 6-9 man sngos but some hu and mtts mixed in. I'm winning so I'm not too worried but winning more than I currently am would be ok too.

They said it's something about helping someone play on their account or something to get SuperNova blah, blah, blah. I didn't really understand. They're going to ban and confiscate the other player's account and charge them with terrorism and prolly put them in a Turkish prison.

I dont get it how the hell can you have more hands at 100/200 than any other limit?

Look at W$SD%. It's pretty low and could be variance...this is like 300 SNG's, right? Also probably steal more blinds and fold less in your BB.

ps. Anyone know what the side games are like? I never got around to playing any sats, but I might be in the mood for a bahamas trip by January. It's been like -20C (cold for you americans) here the past few days

I usually spend 50-100 dollars on each.(I have like a 3k roll at the moment fwiw. I always spend too much buying presents, becasue for some reason I get this high out of buying stuff for people. If I had that much money I would probably spend way too much. You could spend 100+ on something nice and probably look good imo.

With a lot of spare cash lying around, I think it's nice to spoil them a bit. Depending on their finances, they've probably made considerable sacrifices for your well-being. Buy them something that they would normally consider excessive, even if it costs you $1k or so.

HAY GUISE I WAS GONNA PLAY A LONG SESSION TONIGHT BUT SHIPPED 4 BUYINS IN 20 MINUTES SO NOW I'M GONNA BE COOL AND GET WASTED AGAIN TONIGHT BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE ONE LAST POST ON 2P2 B4 IT GETS BOOMSWITCHED TO VBULLTEN SO SHIP IT HOLLA IUGUYS IZ IT CAN B DRUNK TIEM NOW PLZ??????!!!

anyone know which converters work for FTP sngs? I always used to use neidlehurst but now it's messed (converting hands into spanish and not doing it correctly). I tried the others in the Faq too, pokerzion, prego, etc. Thoughts?

So I am trying to put in a lot of volume in over winter break ( will be about 27 days, slightly less than a month). I've talked to a friend of mine about making a small bet to motivate me to play. I have never played more than 350-400 games in one month ( I know, I know let me hear it...) He wants to bet $500 dollars on it which would be about a fifth of my roll. ( I play the $16s) What do you think I should put the number of games at? I will probably 6-9 table continously.

Also, do you think it is smart to bet that much money, I mean it should be easy to win, but I'm a nit and have never lost that much money before.

Quote:Anyone seen the documentary zeitgeist? Scotty was telling me about it and I'm in the middle of watching it. It's pretty mind-blowing stuff.

Oh god

And another tool is born.

Zeitgeist is the manifesto for people who want to be think differently about the world than anyone else but dont want to actually form cognitive thought so they watch the video and then go to every forum they know and say "OMG ZEITGEIST WILL CHANGE UR LIFE!" siiiiigh

Quote:I didn't say it would change lives, just said it was interesting. Obv you still have to assess documentaries that claim to know the truth with extreme skepticism.

AD - would you be making a shear volume bet or a certain amount won?

"Mind Blowing" implies more than "interesting", and that was more a general comment on the hundreds of other people ive seen rave blindly about it that clearly didnt really have a clue what they were talking about.

AD- normally id say thats too much of your roll to bet but thats free money(If I understand the bet correctly and you just have to play more than 400 games) so BEEEETTT ITTTT

I don't think mind blowing necessarily connotes acceptance. Anyways, I found some of their alleged evidence pretty interesting and that it is making me think more critically about mass media, etc. I don't really want to argue as I am known to.

AD - if it's shear volume I'd do it in a heartbeat. How many do you need to play?

kleath and vers.....We are trying to figure out what would be a fair amount of games for me to play. I have never played more than 350-400, but I have never tried to put in a lot of volume. Also, it's not like he's making this bet to make money ($500 means waaaaay more to me than it does to him), if that makes sense, like a motivator I guess.

I cant figure out what that last sentence means but its all good, I interpreted your first post a different way than was intended and it lead me into an unrelated to you short rant, and with that Im about to spark up, one love

Kleath, the I don't really want to argue one? I meant that I've gone on huge rants b4 about non-poker stuff like politics and also the blackize/vers debacle.

Adlinden - if you have the whole month off basically and are 9 tabling continuously, you can play about 100 a day over 6 hrs. If you are capable of doing that day in day out, you could do like 2000 for sure (taking xmas/boxing day and other days off). If you've never played more than 400 or so, 1000 seems pretty daunting I guess.

Yea a 1000 games just seems like such a step I need to get over at some point. I dunno I might try to get like 800 or something to be the line.

If I had no money on it I don't know how I could get myself to play a lot. I always tell my self I could easily have a 5 figure BR if I actually played instead of just studying SNGs. (which I almost do too much.)

Unless you start running horribly and blow your roll, this bet for 800 would be a cinch. I wish people offered me bets like this on playing 2000 in a month. Doing stuff like this and trying to win leaderboards are great motivators. If you're going to put in large volume, I would suggest moving to FTP and making a leaderboard run to add more incentive/more money when you play lots.
